Actress and businesswoman Regina Adu-Safowaah will aim to break the record for the longest speech given by a single person from Friday, February 9 to Wednesday, February 14.
Adu Safowaah has expressed her readiness to leave her stamp on the project, even though she is hoping for overwhelming support from Ghanaians throughout.
Speaking with Graphic Showbiz, she indicated that she was psychologically and spiritually prepared for the work that lay ahead.
“Spiritually, by grace, I am ready. Physically, medically, mentally, emotionally I am sound. My management, Magic Hands Ghana, has done a good job for me. And that is the more reason why I don’t want anyone or anything to discourage me” she said.

Recently, a number of Ghanaians have expressed concern regarding the length of time it has taken Guinness World Records to verify the submissions from Afua Asantewaa’s sing-a-thon and Chef Faila’s cook-a-thon.
Afua Asantewaa, for example, disclosed in a recent interview that she had paid $750 to expedite the verification process in her effort to set a Guinness World Record.
Adu Safowaah told Graphic Showbiz that while the current event may cause her great concern—given the possibility that her efforts will go in useless if Guinness World Records rejects her verification—she is not now concerned about it.
“The whole universe is on standstill for my marathon. Every Ghanaian is happy because they are ready to welcome a Guinness World Record holder for the longest speech marathon by an individual. People have been good to me.
“From the beginning, it’s God’s hands, pure grace and mercy speaking for my marathon. At the end, the world witnesses the longest speech marathon world record holder from Ghana and a woman. That is what matters to me,” she stated.
